When you are looking for a way to store your music DVDs or CDs then the Sony 400 Disc Changer is a must. It is remote controlled and can give you hours of listening pleasure with just a click of a button.

If you have a large library of music this takes care of all those stacked CD cases and allows you to put everything in one unit. This also allows you to organize your CDs or DVDs in a way that makes sense.

This is one of the few units that allow you to store both movie DVDs and music CDs in one space. It is almost worth having several if you have a very large collection. This one will store up to 400 for you and it also includes other formats that will allow you to see photos as well as incorporate downloads you have saved.

Not only will you get high quality audio but you will also get high quality video. The video is high grade at 1080i/720p resolution and it includes Dolby DigitalĀ® and DTS 5.1 channel outputs. This changer is compatible with a variety of different interfaces including DVD-RW/-R/+RW/+R, JPEG, MP3, SVCD playback, VCD, and CD-RW/-R.

One important feature of the Sony 400 Disc Changer is that it is Energy Star rated so it saves energy when you use it. It is a very easy to use; although it seems a bit slow in the changing of discs.

A feature that will make everyone's job easier is that you can choose your CD or DVD by title, number or you can scroll through them. This is a handy feature because it allows you to get to the item you want quickly.

One drawback for this product may be the fact that it can only be shipped to an address in the United States and it must be shipped to the billing address. They are pretty strict on this requirement. This of course applies to those ordering online but it is something to note; you will also get a heavy item shipping charge added to your total.

There is a bit of a learning curve on this Sony 400 Disc Changer unit to make sure that you understand all of the features. Users say it is worth the extra effort to totally use this unit because it has a lot of information when you first get it.
